All By Yourself In The Moonlight 1928 version 1

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 May 2002

Boys were made for girls,
girls were made for boys,
made to share each other's cares and joys.
Life without a mate
is like an empty plate:
What did Adam say before
he met his fate?

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.

He's must have their she's,
she's must have their he's,
Otherwise there'd be no fam'ly trees,
Even in the Zoos
they keep them there in twos,
Otherwise there'd be no little Kangeroos!

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.

Seas were made for he's;
shores were made for she's.
Jack upon the sea shore's sure to please.
When a ship's in port,
then Jack is out for sport.
All the silent Navy
seem to have one thought.

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.

Shakespeare wrote a lot,
some of it was rot.
Romeo would drive you off your dot,
Think of him today
in quite the modern way.
Underneath the balcony
you'd hear him say:

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight.
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees,
giving yourself a hug,
giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sitting on the grass,
All by yourself in the moonlight.
